What is the Youth Service?
Blaenau Gwent Youth Service provides information, support and guidance to young people ages 11-25. We are a team of youth workers, youth support workers and volunteers working in communities and schools across Blaenau Gwent to offer support to young people.聽
Our approach is to treat young people with respect, respecting their rights to make their own decisions and working with them to help them stay safe. We work both in and out of schools offering support, a different way of learning and a chance to have fun and get involved in different activities.聽
